What is informal science education?
Informal science education supports people of all ages and walks of life in exploring science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
At the request of the National Science Foundation (NSF), CAISE has convened a meeting for NSF Informal Science Education (ISE) Program principal investigators (PIs), July 25-26, in Washington, D.C. The ISE PI Summit 2008 provides PIs of recent and active NSF ISE grants the opportunity to discuss the state of ISE with other leaders in the field and to get updates on the latest directions in NSF funding.
Participants in the Summit are encouraged to comment on the meeting, share their insights, and open the discussion to the wider ISE field. In addition to this general post, the titles and descriptions of some of the breakout sessions are also be posted to focus the conversation.
Your feedback and requests are most welcome.
